Is there any harm in washing the vagina with alkaline water?

Using alkaline water to wash the vagina may disrupt the acid-base balance in the vagina and easily lead to diseases such as vaginitis. Using alkaline water to wash the vagina is an unscientific method and may also harm your health, so it should be avoided.

1. Disruption of vaginal acid-base balance: Most female vulvas are acidic, which has a self-cleaning effect and can also reduce the risk of bacterial growth. If you use alkaline water to wash the vulva, it may change the acidic environment of the vulva, causing symptoms such as itching, dryness and discomfort in the vulva, which will affect normal work and life. Therefore, you should try to avoid using alkaline water to wash the vulva;

2. Vaginitis: Alkali is a chemical raw material that can be used in the chemical industry, such as in the manufacture of chemicals and detergents. Alkali contains ingredients such as sodium carbonate, which can play an anti-inflammatory and bactericidal role. However, washing the vagina with alkaline water has a high alkalinity and may cause an imbalance of acid and alkali in the vagina, thereby causing diseases such as vaginitis, resulting in symptoms such as vulvar burning, frequent urination, and urgency.

You need to keep the vulva clean and dry at ordinary times, and change your underwear frequently. When washing your underwear, try to use special soap or detergent. You can wipe it with warm water after urinating to reduce the irritation of urine to the vulva, but avoid excessive washing of the vulva to reduce local irritation.
